Porterhouse, Rice, Potatoes, Roasted Asparagus & Carrots, Watermelon Salad and Perch with Rice and Sautéed Chard/Beet Greens

 Vaccinated supper tonite… Live from NYC…

Cloudy skies… moderate humidity… temps in the mid 70’s… enjoying the last days of spring before summers heat and mugginess arrive… lots of birds out and about… hopping in the grass pecking insects and worms… sparrows… robins… mockingbirds… cardinals… our local borer bee 🐝 a fierce defender of her territory… out patrolling… pleased to see a honey bee drinking from the rosemary flowers… scoping out the garden… neighbors out mowing… weeding… waving hello as they pass by walking their puppers… stopping to chat 💬 


Breakfast for three out on the deck… coffees for two ☕️🧋cottage cheese for the hubs with banana and blueberries… turkey and salami wraps to follow for both… Mr Sam napping in the warmth his kibble and water nearby 😽


Spent time in the greenhouse…  topping tomato plants and pinching suckers… putting up a net behind the cucumber frame for added climbing space… repotting basil seedlings 🌱 and zinnias now grown enough to venture outdoors into new deck planters…  morning glories happily climbing their stake at the end of the deck amidst gardenias, rosemary and lemon tree all showing new growth and flower buds 


Supper last night… perch in a lemon butter sauce with brown rice, chard and sautéed beet greens freshly snipped from the greenhouse… light and delicious…

Supper tonite… grilled porterhouse… rare please… shared with the hubs… his with potatoes roasted on the grill… roasted asparagus spears… roasted asparagus stalks and carrots slices… hers with brown rice topped with roasted asparagus stalk and carrot slices… and roasted tomatoes… roasted asparagus spears on the side… Sharing a watermelon, feta, red onion & fresh garden mint salad with balsamic glaze… served alongside vodka tonic and lime cocktails 🍸 


Still processing the massive information provided by the Jan 6th Committee Hearings… more to come Monday morning 10am on CNN

Covid infections slowing as vaccination and prior infection begin to give herd immunity here in America #GetYourJabOn and be part of the end to this pandemic… mask up when needed and wash those germy hands 😷💕

How was your day?   What’s on your plate?   Thoughts?
